[quote=Anonymous]OP I think the key here is habit building, and a key to habit building is habit chaining. So pairing clean up time to meal time is good because meals happen every day and it's easy to get into a routine. The primary goal should be to establish the routine. Ring a bell for clean up time so it's a clear signal. Then immediately start cleaning up. Help him out, especially at first. The goal is routine at this point, not getting him to do it by himself. Once the routine is established, it should become more second nature. I'm also not above doing a clean sweep or whatever isn't cleaned up and putting it into a bag to be put away somewhere if they're not really following through.[/quote]
